Anesthesia in patients with unusual genetic diseases

Abstract

the previous few decades a remarkable growth and development of anesthesiology
and its related disciplines has been witnessed. Some specific publications by renowned
authors have helped to document many genetic diseases and their perioperative
anesthetic management. Also noteworthy are a number of case reports published in
the major anesthesiology congresses and specialized journals on the subject. This has
led to an understanding of the pathophysiology and the safe anesthetic management
in patients with any of these diseases. However, some rare diseases always remain a
challenge for the clinical anesthesiologists. It is of utmost importance to appreciate the
pathophysiology of these diseases and to anticipate potential problems, as it will allow
you to face situations of apprehension and decrease the associated risks to your patient.
